+However, on religious issues there can be little or no compromise.
+There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious
+beliefs.  There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than
+Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being.
+But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf
+should be used sparingly.  The religious factions that are growing
+throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom.
+They are trying to force government leaders into following their position
+100 percent.  If you disagree with these religious groups on a
+particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of
+money or votes or both.  I'm frankly sick and tired of the political
+preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be
+a moral person, I must believe in "A," "B," "C," and "D."  Just who do
+they think they are?  And from where do they presume to claim the
+right to dictate their moral beliefs to me?  And I am even more angry as
+a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who
+thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll
+call in the Senate.  I am warning them today:  I will fight them every
+step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all
+Americans in the name of "conservatism."

+No End
+
+When government is lazy and informal
+The people are kind and honest;
+When government is efficient and severe
+The people are discontented and deceitful.
+Good fortune follows upon disaster;
+Disaster lurks within good fortune;
+Who can say how things will end?
+Perhaps there is no end.
+Honesty is ever deceived;
+Kindness is ever seduced;
+Men have been like this for a long time.
+So the sage is firm but not cutting,
+Pointed but not piercing,
+Straight but not rigid,
+Bright but not blinding.
